New Jersey Devils Re-Sign Kevin Bahl

The New Jersey Devils have announced that they have re-signed defenseman Kevin Bahl to a two-year deal worth $2.1 million; the deal also buys New Jersey 1 RFA year and 1 RFA Arb year per Cap Friendly. Bahl played in a total of 45 games last season and missed some time with injuries, 42 of them which came with the Devils, where he put up two goals and six assists for eight points; he had one assist in three games in the AHL with the Utica Comets. The 6’6 defenseman will look to establish himself as an everyday player in the Devils’ lineup next season and has a lot of promise for the Devils and the future of their blueline. In his first two seasons, Bahl had bounced back and forth between the AHL and NHL but has finally shown that he’s ready to stay up with the big club. His 6’6 frame gives the Devils a lot of size and physicality on the blue line. Bahl was a second-round draft pick of the Coyotes in the 2018 NHL Draft and was acquired by the Devils in the trade that sent Taylor Hall to Arizona.
